that feeling when you look up at a building in the middle of the night and all the windows are dark except one, and the curiosity makes your marrow ache, and you think you want to drift up to the window to see what's going on in there but what you really want is to distill this feeling of glimpsing the edges of a secret universe and turn it into a tincture to hang round your neck, and let a drop of it dissolve on your tongue in those moments when you don't even feel connected to yourself let alone anyone else

When people get a little too gung-ho about-

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?

ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.

That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

we rejected a major label offer.

this is why.

our new album, how to build an ocean instructions, is out everywhere as of today.

listen to it here.

this is the universal experience and the bears boys are right to say it. the Major Record Label deal is almost always:

we'll give you money to make an album and tour! and in return we'll take most of your money forever!

and people sign up because either 1) they don't understand what they're signing up for, or more likely 2) this is the only way they'll ever make a record and go on tour

the thing is, if you're capable of funding your own records and touring then record labels have very very little to offer you. you're paying for the prestige of being on a label and the connections it gives, and you're paying for it with your life's work

one of my friends signed with UMG around 2007. his band made their album with a big name producer, and then they were told not to play any shows until the album release date was announced. they waited to be told when their album would be released. and they waited. and they waited.

the record label decided not to release their album. they were contractually prevented from playing shows until their label dropped them a year later. by the time they could legally play shows again their momentum had died and their fanbase had drifted off. the band didn't even have the rights to release the album themselves.

last year i found the album on an old hard drive so i messaged my friend about it. not only did he not have a copy of it, none of the band did. they literally didn't own a single copy of a year's worth of work between them.

it broke my heart.

ice cold take here:

it weirds me out how normalised cocaine has become. that there are coke jokes in popular media where there used to be weed jokes.

cocaine as a drug sucks and everyone on cocaine sucks to be around. fight me about it 💜

i am by no means anti drug, but cocaine has just straight up no redeeming qualities
